131 Another Terrorist Attack - Pekanbaru Police Station

Any coincidence this is linked to the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which starts 15 May this year, marking a period of religious focus for millions of Muslims across the globe ?

IS militants carrying swords and a bomb have attacked a police station on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, as Islamists continue to wage war against the south-east Asian nation.

Authorities shot dead three people after the attempted attack on Pekanbaru police station, while at least one police officer was killed. Others in the attack were arrested (video below).

The group slammed a minivan into a gate and then attacked officers with swords. One of the dead was suspected to have a bomb strapped to their body. Bodies are shown being carted off in the video below.

Indonesian authorities said they shot and killed three “alleged terrorists” who staged the attack that also left several police wounded, the local police chief said.
